Forum collasped on default?

[Boofo]

Is there a way to have a forum be collasped as default instead of not collasped?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Better not. Users who don't have JavaScript enabled, would not be able to open the forums.

I don't want to use it on any forums. I have a hack I am making I was to use it on for me. I just want it to work like the forums do.

Then just edit the template to make it collapsed by deafult.

If I knew how to do that I would have already done it by now and not needed this thread. LOL

In hook: forumbit_display
Put the following code, and play a bit with togling the collapse values.

PHP Code:

 global $depth, $tempext, $collapseobj_forumid , $collapseimg_forumid, $show;
            if ($depth == 1 AND $tempext == '_nopost')
            {
                global $vbcollapse;
                $collapseobj_forumid =& $vbcollapse["collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid"];
                $collapseimg_forumid =& $vbcollapse["collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid"];
                $show['collapsebutton'] = true;
            }

That won't do me any good, but thank you, anyway.

I'm trying to make a box collaspe that is not on the forums lsiting. That's why I was hoping to be able to do it in the template, but I tried for hours to get the collaspe code in the template to work right for it and had no luck.

It is very easy, but you must use the correct prefixes for the collapsable ID and image.

Yes and in my second post I explained what I was asking for. I figured I could follow whatever way they did it for forums and use it elsewhere.
